Course Description
“That was great - what’s next?”
It’s a question we’ve often heard over the past decade or more from those who’ve been to our introductory World of Wine sessions. A Deeper Dive is the answer, and it does pretty much what it says on the tin – it’s your chance to take a closer look at the main wine producing countries. And whereas in our introductory WoW course we typically look at just six wines, for these there’ll be at least eight, and occasionally nine.
In the first set off six sessions, the focus was on France, Australia and New Zealand. For this next sextet, we’ll be doing three evenings on Italy, but not before we’ve done tastings looking at the UK, Germany and South Africa.
You can book individual sessions at £40 each, but buying all six together costs just £210 – or £35 per tasting.

Our Italian journey begins in the north, where we’ll begin by looking at the fascinating and fabulous whites from Friuli and Trentino-Alto-Adige – there’ll be a red from the latter too. The line-up will be completed with a selection...
This session concentrates on two of the major regions of Italian wine, Tuscany and the Veneto. We’ll see just how well Sangiovese performs in Tuscany, but how the region also has an affinity for other grapes, both red and white...
The sunny south of Italy can produce rich, intense red wines – we’ll experience some in this session from Puglia – but there are also places such as Campania where you’ll find remarkably crisp whites as well. Add in some of th...
